Thank you. After I finally found this by a chance discovery you have
reaffirmed my effort. Could you please tell me which template to choose
for Field Day?

Hi Kevin,
Setting up the K3 and the Winkeyer is actually pretty simple. Lets
assume that you have connected your K3 to your laptop on your serial
port. Let's also assume that you have connected your Winkeyer and that
it has passed the communication test. Now your serial port is probably
Com1. So open N1MM make sure you have the information and entry
windows open. Now click on Config at the top of the entry window. Then
select the very first line on the drop down menu called "configure
ports, mode control, ports, other". This will open the rather
intimidating configurer window. Make sure the "Hardware" tab has been
selected. Look at the first column, do you see Com1 on the left? Now
click the little down arrow on that line and select the Elecraft K3
from the list that opens. Now push the "set" button on the right hand
side. All the suggested Elecraft K3 settings have already been set for
you. Just press OK down at the bottom. Now select the "Winkey" tab.
Again, the settings have already been selected for you. Click OK at
the bottom. When you do you will see the Winkey version appear on the
Information window. Voila! You should be in business.
Good Luck, Charles N2SO

I am using my IBM Thinkpad with an older K1EL keyer. The keyer is
plugged into the back of the K3 in the keyer socket. The USB
connection from the K1EL keyer is hooked to the Thinkpad. The laptop
is hooked directly to the K3 via its serial port; yes, a true serial
port with a DB9 connector.
Now comes the problem: Setting the com ports correctly.
It has been years since I last hooked this together and I just today
installed N1MM onto the recently installed OS. I know I need to set
the com ports to get it running correctly. One for the serial
connection and one for the USB connection. Reading the installation
notes for N1MM just buries me in information when all I really need
is a picture of which com ports to use. The last time I did this I
just worked my way through all combinations until one magically
worked. Currently I don't have that kind of patience :) Could
anyone direct me to the short form of the instructions or give me a
little hint as to which ports may work? By the way, the OS I am using
on the Thinkpad is the last version of XP.
